03/05/2025 09:37 AM

    Marshall County Emergency Management has been officially recognized as StormReady® by the National Weather Service. This designation highlights the county’s commitment to enhancing emergency preparedness and public safety in the face of severe weather.
    The StormReady® program helps communities strengthen emergency communication, safety planning, and public awareness to reduce risks from extreme weather events. While no community is completely storm-proof, this designation means Marshall County has taken proactive steps to improve response efforts before, during, and after severe weather strikes.
    To achieve StormReady® status, a community must:
    -Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center
    -Have multiple ways to receive and share severe weather alerts
    -Monitor local weather conditions
    -Promote public readiness through community seminars
    -Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, including training spotters and holding emergency exercises
    This recognition demonstrates Marshall County’s dedication to keeping residents informed and prepared for hazardous weather.

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?

I would Vote “Yes” to adopt the amendment (ending expanded Medicaid)

I would Vote “No” to leave the Constitution as it is
